The Maurer
Family sold their first strawberries in 1950, from a
small plot of land on Highland Avenue in the north end
of Wooster.
The farm
operation was moved to the present location
at 2901 Batdorf Road in Wooster Township in 1961. The farm
operation has been expanded over the years. Presently
David, Carol and son Roger Maurer operate the family farm.
Strawberries, raspberries, sweet corn and all kinds of
vegetables are our specialties. We follow the latest
cultural practices so that we can provide our customers
with the best quality produce possible. We follow
integrated pest management practices meaning that we
scout our fields for pests; plant resistant varieties;
and employ cultural practices that minimize the
necessity of using pesticides. The farm has a written
food safety policy which all employees follow.
Many individuals and families enjoy picking their own
berries in the pleasant surroundings of our strawberry
and raspberry fields. We furnish containers at no charge
in which you may pick your berries. The strawberry
containers hold about 6 pounds and the raspberry buckets
hold 7 to 8 pounds.
Our farm market on Batdorf Road is open in season for
10am to 6pm Monday through Saturday and is closed on
Sunday. The market features strawberries, raspberries,
sweet corn, tomatoes, green beans, melons, and squash
all of which are grown on our farm. We also sell some
items we do not grow but are grown by other local
growers.
